Thanks for your reply @spalger

I have pulled data from the following branch [https://github.com/elastic/kibana](https://github.com/elastic/kibana) and did

`npm run elasticsearch` inside the kibana repository as you suggested .Its working and I have also added the sample plugin Its working, however its very slow.

Could you please help me with the following queries -

1. Lets say I want my production ELK stack on 5.5 then I have to start developing plugin in 5.5 version right ?If so please provide the git repository for 5.5 version. (Recently doing plugin development on the version 7.0.0-alpha1)

2. I want to test my plugin with already indexed data I have created using logstash . Currently I have 5.4.3 vesion of lostash and if I am running it its showing incompatible version. Should I need to upgrade the lostash version ?

3. The plugin development requirement I have posted here - [Webservice call from Kibana dashboard](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/webservice-call-from-kibana-dashboard/96138/2) . Please suggest if I am heading in right direction.
